Protein In Hair And Nails

2016-11-01 11:19:56 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0 0

All the hair fibers and nails are made of a protein called keratin.

The fibrous protein emerging from the hair follicle as the hair shaft has a specific construction. It forms a strand with three layers: an outer covering of overlapping keratin scales called the cuticle, a middle layer of keratinized protein fibers called the cortex, and, usually, a central 'core' of round cells called the medulla. A medulla is almost always found in coarse hair, and often is absent from naturally blonde hair and very fine hair.

It has to be keratin. Maybe what you are thinking of is melanin which is a protein that imparts the pigmentation to hair and skin.

Your hair and nails grow at a set rate and there is nothing you can do or take that will speed the process up.
